Hi All, We just wanted to send a quick update. Sophia is finishing up her first week at school. She loves it. Her class has a pet fish named Splash. She's doing just great. Lily is about to be 11 months old. She's walking, almost running now, and makes all kinds of animals sounds: lion, doggy, birdie, cat... she says Da-Da, Bah-Bah, Whoa-whoa when she falls down... I can't believe how fast she's growing.
Our house in Panama City is under contract again, thankfully, and we are scheduled to close on Thursday 8/28. Cliff is finishing up at Tyndall AFB, and will be joining us in Sarasota at the beginning of September. We love our new house in Sarasota. We're so close to family. Sarasota folk, you all have been so great about coming by to see me and make sure I'm not lonely, or overwhelmed.
Keep us in your prayers this week. Cliff is going to weather the storm up in North Florida. We're praying it doesn't delay our closing by flooding or hurricane damage.
Hugs to you all, here are some pictures from this week.

Love-love!

We're moving this weekend! Cliff is moving us down to Sarasota this weekend, so we can settle in before school starts. He'll be down to join us at the beginning of September. Our buyers backed out of the contract, so we don't have our house sold, yet. We're praying that it happens soon, but it's all in God's hands. We're trying not to worry about it and have faith that it will all come together in God's perfect timing. We can't wait to be with family, finally! We have missed being at all the get-togethers. It will be so nice to be home for Thanksgiving! And we don't want to move again, like ever! Cliff has started with New York Life, and he's so excited to be moving forward with that. Lily is walking (see fuzzy video clip) and Sophia is working on the potty thing. We're all doing great.

Love you all.
